South Africa receives more than twice as much sunshine than Germany, where over 15 percent of the national electricity supply comes from renewable sources. South Africa is not even near that amount as of 2015

At the end of 2014 approximately 600 MW of wind and 1 000 MW of PV (Solar Power) are already online. (Excluding small scale developments for own use)

The potential for renewable energy in South Africa is enormous and as a country we should actively promote and invest in this technology.

1 thought on “Some fun facts about renewable energy.”

But you will still have to include relweabne energy in your searches because it is part of the whole gamut of a still wider and unfolding field and so you will have to include in your searches solar energy and natural resources as well because, after all, the whole purpose of harnessing wind energy is to produce electricity and to support engineering involved in designing and manufacturing wind-availing technologies. Look to those schools located in the Mid-west and west coast where the greatest wind forces are located Kansas, Oklahoma, for example, and California and find what degree programs they are founding and that are underway.
